I really like iCloud and how it keeps my iPhone and Macs in sync, but I have one question. How do you back up Notes?
In Calendar and Contacts, there are export options so I can export and back data up in case iCloud goes wonky, but I don't see such an option in Notes.
Thanks for any suggestions.
iMac 24' flat panel, Mac OS X (10.6.7), 4 GB RAM, 50 GB HD
Sorry, but unless you have old itunes and old lion mac os x, these are just remnants of the past. they won't get re-synced or updated as you use notes. At this point there is unfortunately no way to backup your notes that are on icloud. No way.
It's time to write to Apple a feedback requesting this essential option.
... many of us have hundreds of notes not willing to be lost. We need offline backup/restore.
/Users/blloyd/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes
These are the files:
| NotesV1.storedata | NotesV1.storedata-shm | NotesV1.storedata-wal |
I'll just write a SQL script for him.
@aThanasi, you appear to be posting about software for use on Windows computers, not relevant to this particular thread i.e. > Mac OS & System Software > OS X Mountain Lion >
My Library file is invisible. How do I make it appear ?
Open a Finder window, click on the Go menu then press the option key on the keyboard to reveal Library.
Thanks Stephen. That did it.
I decided the simplest thing is just to copy them to Evernote.
Time Machine backs up everything without you having to do anything once it is set up. Use that.
For some of us that don't know html or know what sQLite is, this doesn't sound very usable. Until Apple adds something more functional, I'm just saving the important ones in Evernote.
maybe some day theres simple way to undelete notes...or rollback
This is helpful, but where are the actual notes? I want to put them on a hard drive for safe keeping.
Wonderfully obvious answer that I'd totally overlooked - thanks Ashka!
I was surprised when I used Spotlight Search to find a deleted note, which restored itself when I selected it.
